One of these was the ability to bring the console's remote play function to Windows PC and Mac.

Obviously this would be a fantastic new feature for home pc's and macs, but the idea of bringing it to Apple's iPhone and iPad devices seems the far more logical and infinitely more appealing move.

To give this some perspective, in Apple's last financial quarter they announced that they had sold 5.709 million Macs (laptops and desktop).

By comparison in the same quarter, they sold 16.122 million iPads and 74.779 million iPhones.

HANDY: The PS4 remote play feature allows you to play anywhere in your house

Bringing remote play to Apple's mobile devices would open up Sony's 36 million PS4's to a whole new market.

Arguably it would give the consoles wealth of indie titles, like Firewatch, The Witness and Unravel a completely new lease of life.

We reached out to Sony to comment on the prospect of seeing remote play on Apple's mobile devices in the future and they refused to comment on the speculation.

Unfortunately, until Sony provides more details on exactly what they intend to do with their newly announced remote play plans, it remains to be seen exactly how they will work with Apple devices in the future.

Fingers crossed, we could be about to see the worlds most popular gaming console and mobile device working in harmony in the not too distant future.
